Chapter 68: The Great Victory in Guangzhou
Just when the ministers of the military crew were still trying to find a way to attack the city and seize land for the chaos of bandits in Guangzhou, one of the servants stumbled into the house with a burst of cold air.
Panting, he said happily: "The report is listed as Lord Zhongtang, Guangzhou has won a great victory!" Guangzhou has won a big victory! The emperor announced that everyone immediately went to the Palace of Heart Cultivation. ”
"Huh? Which general did this? There are only 20,000 soldiers, and they can be ten with one, a world-famous general! Everyone chatted as they walked, and the previous haze was still all gone, and it seemed that the heavy snow that began to fall this morning was no longer depressing, except for Jing Shou, who followed Prince Duanhua with a gloomy face.
Under the backdrop of the earth dragon in the Heart Cultivation Palace, the princes and military dignitaries who were dressed in heavy fur and fox fur began to wipe their sweat one after another, seeing this scene, Xianfeng smiled slightly and said: "Go to the court for Aiqingdukuan!" We will wait for the monarch and the ministers to say that they will not make rules today. ”
"Thank the Emperor for your love, grace!" Everyone didn't fake it, because it was really hot and unbearable, Su Shun wiped the hot sweat on his forehead and looked around at the huge heart cultivation hall and said: "You all say, the same fire dragon is long live to pay tribute to carbon, and a side hall in my house is as cold as an ice cellar, it seems that the queen is going to often disturb long live!" ”
Xianfeng was a little puzzled and asked, "Why do you have to bother me so often?" ”
Du Han, who was walking on the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of Military Aircraft, and was handling the patrol of the capital, smiled slightly and said: "What Lord Su Shun said is naturally the emperor's blessing here, and it is naturally different from his subordinates. ”
Hahaha! Xianfeng laughed for a while and said: "I remember that you Du Han, the word Jiyuan, the number of heavy mountain Daoist, is the twenty-fourth year of Daoguang's Jinshi, I don't know if your hand of Dan Qingshui has ever been wasted?" ”
Du Han hurriedly got up and said rudely: "Emperor Lao, you are bothered to think about it, the minister said that he is working state affairs at night, and he doesn't dare to pay attention to the trivial things!" ”
"Hmm!" Xianfeng nodded with satisfaction and said: "At this moment, the bandit is a big problem for my henchmen, the Mongolian iron horse of the monk king has been spent in Jinghai for a long time, and each salary is 20,000 taels of silver, and other materials and grain and grass are not counted!" Thousands of bandit remnants still can't be wiped out? How can this not worry me about that? ”
Xianfeng paused, took a sip of warm ** and continued: "Guangzhou is playing very well!" 200,000 flying fingers were wiped out in a flash, showing the momentum and might of my Qing Dynasty, I have already sent a message to Prince Yi Zaiyuan, asking him to truthfully report the battle situation, and then reward Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, Bai Gui, the governor, and Lin Haijiang, the garrison who turned the tide! ”
After finishing speaking, Xianfeng's face suddenly turned cold and said: "But the Guangzhou general Mukdenne and the naval commander Halde, who fled without a fight, I will punish such disloyal and useless people!" ”
As soon as Xianfeng's words came out, Jing Shou on the side had a cold war, Halde, the admiral of the Guangdong Navy, was Jingshou's doorman, and this admiral was also what he helped Halder get, the New Year's Ice Charcoal Birthday Celebration, etc., Halder had a courtesy count, and now the emperor wanted Halder's head, and Jing Shou naturally broke out in a cold sweat.
Originally, he was going to take advantage of the deliberations of the Heart Cultivation Hall to add a little blockage to the victory in Guangzhou, but Jing Shou, who was muddying the water, was completely disappointed this time, because it may be that the good news of the victory in Guangzhou made the emperor who had been gloomy for more than a year suddenly enlightened? He even decided the matter by dictating the cadres, and even issued a clear edict.
Su Shun looked at Jing Shou, who was in a cold sweat on the back of his neck, and his heart was extremely happy, he was secretly laughing at Jing Shou, an idiot, who wanted to block the emperor in the face of such a big piece of good news? Still delusional to revive Halder, who has been treated as a dead man by Xianfeng? I'm really suffering from a loss of heart and going crazy.
Su Shun and others praised Lin Haijiang as a rare general in the sky and on the ground, and praised Emperor Xianfeng's wisdom and talent, and reused and promoted Ye Mingchen, Bai Gui and others.
Suddenly, Xianfeng's tone changed and said: "Then let Lin Haijiang bring his hundred battle lions into Beijing, I also want to meet the elites of a hundred battles, and then send them to serve under the monk king's tent, the remnants of this bandit are always entrenched near Beijing and Tianjin, and I am uneasy!" ”
"Ahh This time it was Su Shun's turn to get dizzy, he really didn't understand what was going on in the head of this long-lived master who was rumored to be unlearned and unskilled? The overall situation of Guangzhou was initially decided, and it was only suitable to increase troops to stabilize the neighbors and continue to clean up the remnants, so as to prevent the resurgence of bandits and disorders. Besides, Guangzhou is far away from Yanjing, even if you go by sea, where can you transfer ships, salaries, grain and grass?
So Su Shun hurriedly dissuaded: "Long live, the minister thought that Guangzhou was initially decided, although the main force of the bandits was defeated, but the remnants were still hidden in large numbers among the people, and a decree should be issued to let Lin Haijiang train more elite soldiers, and it is the best policy to go out to Guangdong to attack the bandits after clearing the remaining bandits." ”
Under the persuasion of the ministers, Xianfeng finally had to dispel the idea of personally commanding the army and raising troops and horses from all walks of life to encircle and suppress the bandits.
Wait until everyone has accompanied Xianfeng to nag enough, only to retreat, Xianfeng hurriedly rushed to Yi Guiren for dinner, the emperor talked to everyone about things and chatted no matter the meal is not the first time, so everyone had to sigh and go home to eat themselves.
In the main tent of the Jinghai and Duliu Qing army camps in the southwest of Tianjin, a chubby middle-aged man was beckoning several officers in leather vests to shabu mutton.
Monk Greenqin is the chubby man with a generous face, and several big men in the tent also reveal a kind of fierceness with a bloody smell.
One of the big men ate a few chopsticks and slices of meat, and after a bowl of Hui Chun, Gu Dong and Gu Dong led him back to spring, and said with a big grin: "Lord Wang, isn't this?" It's not the first time we've been beaten by this bandit, and it's very hard to play to the death! Can the sweet potato soldiers in the south hit ten with one hit? You say that this court is also full of pig brains, do they really believe it? ”
The bearded but serious man on the side glared at him and said, "Haas Chao Kojil, you bastard, you forgot your last name after a few cups of cat urine?" It's like you can say that? Don't keep bothering the prince, the court has to use it now, the Manmeng family, what are you doing with the salaries of the Manchurians? Look at our ragged leather robes. ”
Monk Lingqin smiled and said: "Has'an, don't keep talking about your younger brother, we Mongolians are protected by the Immortal Heaven, we are the eagles in the sky, and the wolves in the grassland!" Since there has been such a big commotion in Guangzhou, and we have also asked the court for food three times and several times, it is time to sell some strength. ”
Hasian smiled and said, "In two days, Horqin's eight thousand iron horsemen will arrive, why don't we wait?" ”
Monk Lingqin smiled disdainfully and said, "Do you also believe the words of the old fox of Horqin's Zaduo?" Not to mention 8,000 people, there can be 4,000 people who bend bows and hold the reins, I count him as having two first merits! ”
Suddenly, Monk Greenqin lowered his voice and said: "After using heavy artillery to open the earthen fence of Jinghai tomorrow, I will remember it, we must open the net and beat the bandits to run, as long as they are running around, we can justifiably pursue, so that what we want from the court will give us something, understand?" ”
"Piercing!" Several generals knelt down and saluted, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table suddenly fell to the ground.
In Guangzhou, Lin Haijiang was in charge of the military affairs of the entire Guangzhou, in the name of the governor and governor of Guangzhou, with the support of Bai Gui, Lin Haijiang was very handy in doing things, and the general soldiers of the three towns in Guangdong were also transferred by him to fly all over the sky, and went everywhere to extinguish the remnants of the bandits.
At this time, Lin Haijiang suddenly realized that once the original various elbow systems were gone, both government and military orders were extremely smooth, and it was difficult for Lin Haijiang to imagine that if the Qing Dynasty was actually stumbled by his own people?
However, the Chinese in this era have a very significant special surname, that is, what Lao Tzu can't do, others can do, Lao Tzu can't do it, how old are you? Tearing down your stumbling blocks under the stage is not discussed, living at home, neighborhood disputes, and even the court of the highest administrative body of a country is the same, which is really admirable! Admire!
On the fourth day of quelling the bandits, four large ships of Zhenyuan, Dingyuan, Taishan, and Huashan, together with three light two-masted cruisers with 46 guns, appeared at the Guangzhou wharf.
After learning the news that the bandits had been pacified by Lin Haijiang, Ye Mingchen and Prince Yi Zaiyuan were taken aback almost at the same time! In their opinion, it would be good if Lin Haijiang could save his life and survive, and he could still fight back and quell the chaos? This is a miracle of miracles, isn't it?
In the end, Prince Yi Zaiyuan and Ye Mingchen must see is believing, this time they not only brought back a battalion leader who was trained in the old port, but also brought back 4,000 guards from the old port, although these guards are all Chinese, but they do not have braids on the top of their heads, which makes Prince Yi Zaiyuan and Ye Mingchen tired for a while.
Now that the rebellion is still quelled, did the 4,000 guards of the old port, also known as the marines, appear to participate in the subsequent clearance, and in what capacity? It became an urgent delay.
